To all whom it may concer/n:

Be it known that I, EILERT O. SCHARTAU, of the 'city of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a Portable Oalorific Apparatus for Evapom tion of Medicine in the Treatment of Disease.

This waHning-appa'ratns consists of a round or ovalformed hollow meta-1 or stone, (the latter preferable,)

` presenting on one'side a concave, and on the other, a

convex surface, thus admitting of its application in'any casev of disease Where the use of it is required.

In the centre hole of the heater, is introduced a box,

or chest containing the medicineor essential oil thatv has to be volatilized.

rlhis box is resting with its ange on the heated stove, in such a manner as affording the greatest facility of'detaching it if necessary, without moving the heater. from the b ody of the sich; and-I do hereby de clare the following to be an exact description thereof,

reference being had to the accompanving drawings,

and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification the principal object of my invention being,r the gradual evaporation of certain essences and medicine, and to conne and concentrate;

matic vapors.
